You make a film and always hope you're going make Citizen Kane or The Bicycle Thief. You make the film, and for one reason or another, one clicks and one doesn't, but it's out of your control completely.

Standard mathematics has recently been rendered obsolete by the discovery that for years we have been writing the numeral five backward.

I know what I think but I don't know how to put it into words. Maybe I could get a little bit drunk and dance it for you.

People always ask me, Do you ever think you'll wake up one morning and not be funny? That thought would never occur to me--it's an odd thought and not realistic. Because funny and me are not separate. We're one.
